so it was your other friends who took it?

[ he knows. ]

i think theyre losing their minds. [ and killua’s lying is pointless- because he’s already in vandare, and catching whiff of everything as it unfolds. ]

<izutsushi>

[killectric]

they're not

[The words are typed and entered before Killua even has a chance to think it through. He wanted to believe his friends were stronger than that--that it was only a vocal minority of those who took the cure that were acting like this.]

i see them, killua.

[ he’s lying- but that’s it. if his intentions weren’t clear before they are now. he’s here and looking for them. ]

you know, its a shame that you couldnt convince gon.

you tried to handle too much.

[Killua's body jerks, nails cracking the keys on his keyboard. Gon was in danger.]

get away from him.

[ from there illumi is occupied, and too cautious to lug around something that will draw the hunting monsters right to him as he scopes about, even if it provides a chance for him to push his point further. it isn’t until the next night, after he’s (unexpectedly) killed leorio, that he goads killua further. ]

i always make good on my word, killu.

you need to remember that.

[ he’ll search once more tomorrow. this time, he’ll get him. ]

[Killua's been looking all day now. He ran into Kurapika earlier and now--this. Usually he didn't take his laptop with him when he was out, but with all the text messages Illumi had been sending him he couldn't risk not taking it. Not when he wouldn't be returning home until he found Gon.

That's the only reason why he gets Illumi's next text on time.]

dont touch him

dont you dare touch him!

[ illumi doesn’t look at his laptop until it’s all done. whatever killua had sent him wouldn’t make any difference- killing gon is- was the perfect, the only solution to his problem. it was the one way to get killua to submit. and he would be certain it was carried out, no matter the trouble that would have awaited him.

it’s a good hour or so before illumi sends his final message, a single, plain text containing nothing but an address- where killua will be sure to find gon.

illumi’s job is complete, for now. so he waits. ]
